The "friendly, neighborhood Spider-Man" myth is dead in Hollywood.

On Friday afternoon, a masked marauder grabbed a paper bag containing $6,000 in cash and credit card info from a Starlines Tour Bus company. This resulted in the LAPD shutting Hollywood Boulevard down, grabbing all of the costume-wearing hustlers who regularly post up where the crime occurred. 

They got everyone: Spider-Man, Batman, Superman, Catwoman....everyone. According to NBC Los Angeles, no one has been arrested yet, but a Spider-Man was seen being placed in the back of a squad car. Now nobody will trust their valuables around Spider-Man. What's the world coming to?
